My job

In my Role at Roxel I am responsible to ensuring all site facilities and plant is fully operational and most importantly safe for its intended use. I manage a dedicated and highly skilled team to do this. This team complete all reactive and planned maintenance activities utilizing the latest in asset reliability techniques.

My background

I completed an electrical engineering apprenticeship in the Royal Air Force where I spent 11 years supporting UK Military operations at home and overseas. Since then I have built experience managing maintenance teams in the Aerospace and Automotive sectors.

My motivations

Working for Roxel is technically very difficult due to the highly technical plant and controlled facilities required to manufacture rocket motors. Personally, I find this challenge extremely rewarding. The large scope of responsibilities from plant and building safety to Total Preventative Maintenance ensure that two days are rarely the same.

Question from Charlotte to Luke :

“Do you mainly recruit in Engineering?”

Answer by Luke to Charlotte :

Hi, The majority of our recruitment is within our Engineering Function. This is due to the technical nature of the skills and experience required to design and produce propulsion systems. However, we regularly have opportunities within Production and Business Support functions (HR, IT, Finance, Supply Chain and Facilities). Our site is very big so there is a lot of maintenance to do, both on the site and the manufacturing equipment. I’m in charge of Faculties and I have 15 direct employees in my team as well as overseeing on average 20 contractors.
